Tech, Trauma, and Tales: The World of T.R. Napper

Explore memory, morality, and the future of technology in this gripping conversation with author T. R. Napper. We delve into his cyberpunk novel *The Escher Man*, set in a high-tech, neon-lit Macau of 2101, where identity can be erased and rewritten at will. Napper discusses the inspiration for his world, the philosophical roots of cyberpunk, and the emotional impact of memory manipulation. We also touch on his journey as a writer, world-building secrets, and the meaning of art in an increasingly dehumanized age. Tune in for an episode that asks: what happens to the soul when our memories are not our own?T.R.
